Which camp? Carolyn's got the line on climbing spots. And the BWCA rocks. As do the pies of the North Shore!

Check craigslist.org things of suspicious orgin often turn up there.

It's a $1.99 in Cali It's not bad stuff. It finally brings us into line with the major wine drinking countries in the world. We finally have a supply of cheap, decent wine.

Skiing often falls in with "climbing" for me. Generally I just use the phrase "I went for a wander"

I tried to keep a ski pack filled with ski stuff. Problem was I would either not dry things out - Moldy Gloves Or take things out and dry them and then forget them. Back on subject - check out the BD Slide pack. Most of what your looking for, and cheaper than the Stash http://www.bdel.com/php/specials.php?gear=lightware&id=251

All the snaffle and vermin will be after the blood for nourishment though

My freedom loving school (Fairfax, Va) did make you recite the pledge. What's with the Rehnquist court and so many copouts lately? First Corporate Free Speech, now the pledge, what's next?

GRRR! Smiffy was fun on Sat too. Can't say the same about the Crooked, but eh, that's life

Not much will survive UV light.

As long as no one escalates to "Whats under a Mt Hardwear Trail Kilt"

I can see that. I'm a crappy stealhead fisherman - mostly 8wt w/heavy tip.

Scott- Thinning of big trees isn't thinning - it's logging. And logging will just perpetuate the problem. Having just driven over Santiam Pass this morning, and looked at the burned areas, it really doesn't look that bad - clearcuts looks much worse, IMHO. Salvage logging would be acceptable - but as part of the regularly scheduled logging quote, not as a bonus.

I just drove through Santiam Pass this morning - good lordy there are alot of homes in that neck of the woods. All scattered through the dry forest. The burned areas didn't look that bad.

Scott- You seem to have missed the basis for the thinning. Underbrush and small trees are a greater fire risk - more likely to catch fire, more likely to burn & kill the tree, shrub, etc. They aren't economical to harvest though. Larger trees are more likely to survive a blaze. And are economical to harvest. If you log the trees more likely to be living after a fire, and keep the kindling, how is this making the forest less likely to catch fire?

They may be better informed. Our country was not founded to respect the level of education or amount of information a voter has. Every person with a pulse (note: not required in Chicago), of age, and not convicted of a felony, has a right to vote.

Was their ever any African colonialism then

Someone managed to get in the 90th percantile without understanding what that means

Betalight

Ain't that rod a little light for Stealies?

I dunno - maybe they didn't think they did the FWA?

The Gunks are in NY as well - the Mohonk Preserve (PRIVATE!) being the major administrative district. Fairweather. Your full of shit if you think because your local you have greater say in the administration of a national park. Should we have your vote weighted inversly proportional to your distance from the Olympics ( as well as weighted by time spent in the park, and close to the park).? Unless of course you want to take the Alaska lead, decrying Washington, all the while sucking the Federal Teat dry.

There's your precious evidence. If claims of responsibility are now intent, I guess the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigade is our biggest terrorist threat http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5087301/

I doubt you will find similar instructions on a NRA site. John Allen Muhammed could have gotten marksmanship tips from the NRA....

I'm glad you disagree. But there is no proof associating him - no evidence!

Huh? The Elf leader didn't plan the SUV bombing.
